Dry mouth medical conditions
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2019 7:05 am
Due to Dry Mouth, my teeth have developed holes and/or have chipped off a few pieces at a time, some have just broken off at the gum line and fallen out. I have lost several teeth and the others are seriously damaged. Currently, 7 upper teeth remain, 4 of my own remain below as does a 3 tooth manufactured piece. My condition worsens nearly daily.
I was referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who advised that my jawbone will not support dentures due to bone loss and tori formation. It was determined that I will need extractions, tori removal and reconstruction, two implants each (upper and lower) and replacement "teeth" to fix my dry mouth conditions.
My husband's passing has made it impossible to pay my bills. Without 2 incomes my living expenses seriously outweigh my income. I will sell my home, but it is doubtful there will be profit. Quite a predicament in itself, I simply cannot pay for the surgery I need.
Aged 70, widowed, on a fixed income, I am in need of help. Does your office ever offer donated or greatly reduced care? Are you aware of any services or agencies that may be able to assist me with Dry Mouth? I will be so grateful for any suggestions you can recommend.
Thanks so much!
